Abstract excerpt
Various studies have suggested the existence of different pathways of tumor progression in colorectal cancer that associate with specific molecular, chromosomal, and clinicopathological features. We hypothesize that a comprehensive analysis of cumulated genomic damage in colorectal cancers would aid the characterization of different tumor progression pathways and identify the factors determining clinical outcome...
